The Bandits call themselves "Forgotten Ones" and "Masters of the Corrupted Badlands", and distastefully refer to people from the Tucma Subsurface as "mine-worms". They desire a life free of authority, without Masters, Guilds or Guards. They prefer political anarchy, where live freely and take care of each other. For instance, they share all their sleeping quarters. As each does as well as they can, they don't rank based on skill. Although they value self-reliance, those who cannot survive on their own receive help from their peers. The gifts of the Highabove and their own ingenuity. Taking from others sustains them as well, "We are sorry for nothing, we are indebted to nobody." They recycle and reuse everything.
